Perhaps we should have a tab devoted to some of these behaviours. I am generally not a fan of public shaming, since it can quickly devolve into a pitchfork waiving mob mentality. However, there is a real attitude that many drivers seem to have which is quite dangerous, while once in a while, people surprise you. The other day, we were approaching the infamous Christ the King - King and 403 overpass. It was pitch dark and a pickup truck driver actually stopped, flashed his lights, and allowed 3 cyclists and one pedestrian to cross a this indefensibly dangerous intersection. Don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the extra knock down sticks and extended solid white line make things worse, as drivers become confused and swerve onto the onramp at 60-70 km/h over the ped/bike crossing at the last second.
